Ariana Grande is set to star as Glinda the Good Witch and Cynthia Erivo as the iconic role of Elphaba, also known as the Wicked Witch of the West. In the film, the two become roommates at Shiz University and, while their relationship was rocky at first, the two eventually develop a loving and supportive friendship.
“Wicked, to me, at its every core, is about friendship, director Jon M. Chu explains in the nearly three-minute clip, as scenes of Glinda and Elphaba growing in their relationship weave throughout the video. “It starts with a really fun look at how these two young women are so different from each other, are forced to be roommates and don’t get along at all.”

Erivo adds, “We have to learn about each other and get to know each other,” before Grande notes, “These two very different women just fall completely in love with each other, and that is mirrored experience of what happened with Cynthia and I.”
Erivo then noted that she and Grande “got each other immediately,” with Chu adding, “Their friendship is going to bring a humanity to this film that they both deeply understand.”

The fourth-longest-running Broadway show of all time, Wicked pulls inspiration from both the stage musical and the best-selling Gregory Maguire-penned novel of the same name.
The rest of the principal Wicked cast will feature Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Olivier winner Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Tony nominee Ethan Slater as Boq, Emmy nominee Bowen Yang as Pfannee and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz.
The first part of Wicked arrives in theaters on November 22.

Taylor Swift surprised Swifties on Tuesday (Aug. 20) with the premiere of her music video for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
With the Eras tour still in full force, it left little time for the 34-year-old to take a break to film a music video, which may be why she opted for one that gave fans rare behind-the-scenes footage of her backstage and rehearsing the single for the stage — including the outfits she chooses to wear behind the scenes.
Swift is taking her love for her fans beyond autographs, photos and fun Easter eggs — the “Fortnight” singer is now wearing clothing from PopFlex, whose founder is a Swiftie. Within the video, the pop superstar shows off some of her best rehearsal outfits, including not just one, but four styles designed by the fan: a skater skort, athletic shorts, a simple sports bra and a purple tennis skirt that she previously wore playing pickleball in her “Fortnight” challenge video.

Popflex
Crisscross Hourglass Booty Short
These athletic shorts don’t just come with a cute criss-cross waistband, the style even includes squat-proof material that’ll help you get through your most intense workouts. It’s even dancing-approved, which can been seen as Swift slides into a pose in the music video.
Popflex
Twirl Skort
Whether you’re hitting the pickleball court or going out dancing with friends, this athletic skort will help carry you through your events in style. It features compression material and built-in shorts with pockets to carry your phone and other small essentials. Shoppers have also rated it 4.8 stars, with reviewers praising how you can even wear it comfortably on a run.
Popflex
Corset Bra
This Corset Bra aims to feel “like a hug” when it comes to compression and support. There are 15 shades to choose from (Swift opted for the Digital Lavender), and the design also includes removable padding. The back also shows off a criss-cross backing, while the front includes a square neckline you can layer under a T-shirt of wear alone.
Popflex
Pirouette Skort (Cassey’s Version)
While the Pirouette Skort (Cassey’s Version) comes in 11 shades to choose from, Swift opted for the lavender shade (perhaps a shout-out to “Lavender Haze” off her last album?) with a matching sports bra while rehearsing. Its exterior boasts a three-tier ruffled design with a drawstring waistband. Underneath, you’ll find a built-in pair of biker shorts with a pocket at the side to store your smartphone.
Shoppers also can’t stop praising the skirt, which they’ve rated a 4.6 on the brand’s website. One reviewer described it as a “really comfortable fit and twirl factor is great.”
PopFlex is an athletic apparel brand designed by Cassey Ho, a Swiftie and fitness guru who was originally overjoyed to see the Grammy-winner wearing one of her designs back in April.
“CANT MOVE CANT THINK ABSOLUTELY DEAD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 MY IDOL MY INSPIRATION @taylorswift YOU MADE MY WILDEST DREAM COME TRUE TONIGHT AND I WILL NEVER EVER EVER FORGET APRIL 19, 2024,” she captioned her Instagram post that features a snap of the singer in the Pirouette Skort.

It’s Travis Kelce‘s world, we’re just living in it. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end who has parlayed his on-field NFL prowess into an ever-expanding off-field portfolio has achieved one of his most sought-after extracurricular gigs.
On Tuesday night’s (August 20) Tonight Show, Adam Sandler confirmed that Kelce will appear in the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2 sequel. “Travis has… he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler said of the gig that Kelce publicly pined over earlier this year. “He’s gonna come by. He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny.”
Though Sandler didn’t reveal any details about Kelce’s role in the anticipated follow-up to the 1996 golf comedy, the Kelce reveal is a bit of wish fulfillment for the Super Bowl champ. He seemed to manifest the cameo in May on his New Heights podcast with brother retired NFL great Jason Kelce, when Travis said he was a “huge fan of the Sandman” and would do “anything” to get a role in the film.
Trending on Billboard
“I didn’t even know there was a job opening on Happy Gilmore 2. I’ll be a f–king extra… anything to get around Happy Gilmore, an Adam Sandler film or set — count me in,” Travis said at the time. Jason quickly poured cold water on the idea, though, noting that there was “really no evidence to support” the conspiracy theory that his brother might make it into the film after a Reddit user noted that Kelce was wearing a Happy Gilmore baseball hat on the podcast shortly after the sequel was announced.
“[No evidence] other than the movie’s getting made and I’m looking for movie deals,” Travis teased at the time. “Who knows? Theories can come true. Theories can be true and people just don’t know about it. I might even be in the talking and nobody knows about it, but I could also not be in the talking. I’ll do anything in the movie. I’ll be part of it any way I possibly can.” Travis speculated that he could be the “jackass” crowd heckler from the original, or, perhaps given hs upcoming game show gig, he could take over the Bob Barker role.
Kelce has been beefing up his TV and film resumé this year, with upcoming appearances in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX horror series, Grotesquerie, as well as a gig hosting the Amazon Prime game show reboot Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? and a just-announced potential first lead role in the action-comedy Loose Cannons.
Sandler told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that the movie will start shooting in New Jersey in “a couple of weeks.” Kelce, of course, will likely be back on the field for the final Chiefs pre-season game against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night (August 22) before kicking off the regular season on Sept. 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.
When he does take the field, it will be with his new longer hairstyle, which Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes recently said is thanks to girlfriend Taylor Swift’s influence. “I’ve been trying to get him to grow his hair out and all of a sudden Taylor gets him to do it,” Mahomes said during a recent interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Travis Kelce is heading to the big screen.
The Kansas City Chiefs football star, and boyfriend of Taylor Swift, has landed his first movie project as an actor.
Kelce is attached to star in Loose Cannons, an action comedy that is in the process of being set up at Lionsgate. Chad Stahelski, the John Wick filmmaker who has a first-look deal with Lionsgate, is producing with Jason Spitz, his partner at 87Eleven Entertainment, as well as Alex Young. Tim Dowling, whose credits include Adam Sandler comedy Just Go With It, wrote the script.
The premise centers on how every police precinct, at least in this movie’s world, has a crazy, out of control, rule-breaking officer on staff. But rather than pair them with a straight arrow and by the book partner, the premise here is that unhinged person is paired with someone just as out of line as they are.
In Cannons, two loose cannons are forced to partner up after their precincts merge due to budget cuts and no one wants to work with them. The duo end up taking on the cases no one else can.
The script is described as having tones of Lethal Weapon, Bad Boys and Rush Hour, all landmarks in the buddy action comedy genres.
Trending on Billboard
Cannons is the latest major step in Kelce’s climb of the Hollywood ladder. The sports star has long wanted to expand his portfolio into entertainment, appearing in an episode of Showtime comedy Moonbase 8 in 2020 and hosting Saturday Night Live in March 2023. The drive into Hollywood become more focused when the tight end signed with CAA in spring 2023.
Since then, he’s signed on to host a reboot of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader titled Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity for Amazon, while his first major acting role is the upcoming Ryan Murphy FX horror show Grotesquerie, which started production in May.
Stahelski is deeply ensconced in Lionsgate’s feature projects, acting as overseer of the Wick franchise for the company. He is also working on a remake of Highlander, which is a franchise hopeful and is to shoot next year after years of development.
Dowling made a name for himself with several big studio comedies, among them Universal’s Role Models, starring Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott, and DreamWorks’ Office Christmas Party, starring Jason Bateman. On top of Sandler’s Just Go With It, he worked on the comedian’s big-budget 2015 entry Pixels. On the action front, he co-wrote the romantic spy movie This Means War, which starred Tom Hardy, Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon.
